Why read it?

1 author picked The Moonlit Murders as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My mom was once a young Italian woman on a steamship sailing to Halifax, and while she was nothing like Fen Churche, the heroine in this story, I’ve always imagined my mom having lots of wild adventures on that Atlantic crossing. The way the author has woven this twisty, tricky tale, I could almost believe mom had an alter ego.

From Tessa's list on Jazz Age mysteries by the sea.
